Restaurant doesn’t have any bells or whistles, simple hole in the wall but the menudo was delicious! Both my husband and I ordered it and it was HOT, a hint of spice and flavors well balanced. No idea about everything else but we’ll definitely come back.

It's a good meal, but I heard my arrival was not very pleasant because of the person who served me, this lady named Carmen has a very despotic attitude towards people about me, how she treated me since I called, I don't know or her attitude should be to teach her how to treat customers, it's not the first time I've bought here, the other people who are there are very friendly and I want to talk to the owners, she said she was there tomorrow, then she said Monday, then she said she didn't know, I see, she doesn't know anything. only treat badly that hurts that I feel race of oneself they treat towards one

This is our first time here at this restaurant the food was okay have flavor just the only thing was that you could hear a machine in the background like they're fixing something or remodeling something in the back other than that the restaurant was clean the only thing is that they didn't have the machine to pay with card so we had to zelle which is okay

Defenatly not fresh authenic mexican food. I would not recomend this place :(Came in for their Chile's Reyenos and was very disappointed in the quality of food. Their green and red "salsa" for the chile rellenos and green enchiladas was clearly from a can. The beans were definitely from a few days ago as they had been refried several times, ours were so dry they were salty. When I first got my plate I couldn't even see the chile reyeno, it was so flat, I knew that couldn't possibly a fresh chile reyeno and it was filled with seeds! The Carne asada fries were soggy covered in refried beans, and dried meats. The tacos were cold and hard. The horchata tasted like it was made from a powder mix. Nothing I had tasted fresh nor homemade. It was an utter embarrassment to have Mexican dishes served this way.

First time sitting and eating here.I rate restaurants like these on 3 standard basis, so here goes.1 - Taste: the chips with salsa were not seasoned and the salsa was too watery. the chilaquiles texture was good, the sauce was too thick for me, like it was mixed with flour or something, rice was good on both plates, beans were ok, my wife said she really like the fries, however, if I’m being completely honest, the milanesa tasted like an old piece of dee fried rug (not good). The thickness was like 1 cm.2 - Customer service: the waiter/cashier was kind and courteous. This restaurant seems to have only one person up front and no busser so some tables may not be empty after customers leave.3 - the price was decent, 11 for chilaquiles but around 13 or 16 for milanesa plate. Unfortunately this time the milanesa wasn’t good at all and the price wasn’t worth it for the taste.In essence, other plates can be delicious but ours were a bit underwhelming. Just taking a bit more time to plate the food better can make this place more enticing and please work on the milanesa.

Good was really good, prices were decent, waitress was attentive and friendly. Definitely will come back. Mom didn't like her coffee cold, and I settled for a Jamaica after they didn't have the ingredients to make a vampire. Tortillas are handmade. Delicious. We had milanesa de res, caldo de res and mariscada. All the food was amazing.

I was in the area during brunch and decided to try something new. "Huevos Norteños" really impressed me. They were very tasty.

Worst tasting food ever! Do you not spend your money!! The meat was completely dry and they threw what they consider lettuce and tomato and some slather of mayonnaise. I cannot believe the lady making the food would make something so awful . Look at your food before you leave if you order from this awful place.
